About the Book

Agincourt was an astonishing clash of arms, a pivotal moment in the Hundred Years War and the history of warfare in general. In August 1415, King Henry V claimed the throne of France and landed an army in Normandy. Two months later, outside the small village of Agincourt in Picardy, he was preparing for certain defear. On 25 Octover his exhausted, starving and ailing troops faced a far larger French army, whose soldiers were fresh for combat and determined to destory their opponents. But what was to take place in the following 24 hours, it seemed only the miraculous intervention of God could explain. Interlacing eyewitness accounts, background chronicle and documentary sources with a new interpretation of the battle's onset, acclaimed military historian Michael Jones takes the reader into the heart of this extraordinary feat of arms. He brings the longbowmen and knights to life, portrays the dilemmas of the commanders and shows the brutal reality on the ground, as archers seized swords, daggers and even mallets to beat their opponents, and heavily armoured men-at-arms sank into knee-deep mud in a bloody fight that astounded the courts of Europe.

About the Author

Michael Jones did his degree and PhD in history at Bristol University and subsequently taught at the University of South West England, Glasgow University and Winchester College. He now works freelance as a writer, battlefield tour guide and media presenter. He is a member of the British Commission for Military History and a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Widely published in Britain and the United States, he has written on the battles of Bosworth, Agincourt, Stalingrad and Leningrad and is co-author, with Philippa Gregory and David Baldwin, of The Women of the Cousins’ War. His forthcoming book with Philippa Langley, The King’s Grave: The Search for Richard III, will be published by John Murray in the UK and St. Martin’s Press in the USA in October 2013 and is widely tipped to be the stand out history title of 2013. He has discussed Agincourt on Radio 4’s In Our Time, was consultant for Channel 4’s The Road to Agincourt and has presented the battle on the History Channel series Warriors.
